Principal component analysis for microbial SNP
I have 7 different geographical location isolates of mycobacterium SNP dataset in seperate VCF files. I want to perform PCA analysis. Tutorials are available for biallelic data or multiallelic data. What are ways for doing PCA for haploid ? From my understanding , I think I should merge VCF files into single file for analysis if it so what are tools are available for merge the data?

You can use BCFtools to merge your VCFs, and then PLINK to perform PCA using the genetic information contained within them. I have done this previously with 1000 Genomes VCFs: Produce PCA bi-plot for 1000 Genomes Phase III - Version 2
